Dimension2: K. O. Götz

GÖTZ, K. O.: K. O. Götz, born in Aachen in 1914, is best known as a major proponent of abstract painting in Germany. Barred from exhibiting his works during the Nazi years (1935 to 1945), his work was widely shown after the war, and he has joined or cofounded groups of other artists (COBRA in 1949, "Quadriga" in 1952) and taught art (in Düsseldorf from 1959 to 1979). Examples of his paintings appeared in Volume 1, Number 3. Götz is also a poet; in fact, he is considered one of the few German-language practitioners of literary surrealism.
